Xiisad siyaasadeed oo Uganda: Jeneraallo la xiray iyo hanjabaad ka dhan ah madaxweyne ku-xigeenka
Xisbiga NRM ayaa beeniyay warar sheegaya in hoggaankiisu diiday soo jeedin lagu diyaarinayay Jeneraal Muhoozi Kainerugaba inuu noqdo madaxweynaha xiga.
15-kii bilood ee la soo dhaafay, ugu yaraan 12 jeneraal iyo saraakiil sare oo milatari ah ayaa la xiray intii uu xilka hayay Jeneraal Muhoozi Kainerugaba, wiilka madaxweynaha Uganda Yoweri Museveni, sida lagu sheegay baaritaan lagu daabacay wargeyska Daily Monitor.
Xarigga saraakiisha sare iyo tafaasiisha
Sida lagu sheegay baaritaanka Daily Monitor, Sarreeye Guuto Peter Elwelu, taliye ku-xigeenka hore ee ciidanka, ayaa la xiray 2-dii Nofeembar, isaga oo lagu eedeeyay inuu maleegayay qorshe lagu xasilooni-darro gelinayo gobolka Teso ee bariga dalka. Milatariga ayaa markii dambe xaqiijiyay in Elwelu xabsiga lagu hayo, iyaga oo sheegay in laga soo helay 15 qori, dareesyo milatari iyo laba gaari oo nooca loo yaqaan pickup ah.
Hanjabaad ka dhan ah madaxweyne ku-xigeenka iyo beenin xisbiga
Toddobaadkan, Jeneraal Kainerugaba ayaa ku hanjabay inuu xilka ka qaadi doono madaxweyne ku-xigeenka Jessica Alupo, isla markaana uu soo jeediyay inuu isagu qabto xilkaas. Xoghayaha guud ee xisbiga NRM, Richard Todwong Awany, ayaa xaqiijiyay in xisbigu kulmay 10-kii Nofeembar, isaga oo beeniyay wararka sheegaya in shirka lagu diiday soo jeedin lagu diyaarinayay Jeneraal Kainerugaba, isla markaana sheegay in go'aan kasta lagu shaacin doono habka saxda ah iyo waqtiga ku habboon.
Falanqayn ku saabsan sababaha xarigga
Dr. Gerald Bareebe, oo ah aqoonyahan ku takhasusay cilmiga siyaasadda, kana wax ka dhiga Jaamacadda York ee dalka Canada, ayaa xiriir ka dhex arka xarigga saraakiisha iyo loollanka siyaasadeed. Waxa uu sheegay in saraakiisha la aaminsan yahay inaysan taageersanayn mashruuca loo yaqaan "Muhoozi Project" la xiray, xabsiga la dhigay ama lagu soo oogay eedeymo la xiriira musuqmaasuq iyo khiyaano qaran. Falanqeeyaha amniga Freddie David Egesa ayaa sheegay in xarigani ka dhasheen baaritaanno ay wadaan hay'ado kala duwan oo amni.
At least 12 generals and senior officers arrested in 15 months, according to a Daily Monitor investigation
At least 12 generals and senior military officers have been arrested in Uganda over the past 15 months while General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of President Yoweri Museveni, has been in office, according to a Daily Monitor investigation. The arrests coincide with rising political tensions over who will succeed Museveni.
Arrests and the Succession Question
General Kainerugaba, 52, is widely seen as a possible successor to President Museveni, though his political ambitions face resistance within the ruling party. Dr. Gerald Bareebe, a Ugandan political scientist at York University in Canada, linked the arrests to the succession struggle, saying: "Senior officers believed not to support this project have been arrested, imprisoned or charged with corruption and treason."
Elwelu's Detention and Charges
Former Deputy Army Commander Peter Elwelu was arrested on November 2, accused of plotting to destabilize the Teso region in eastern Uganda. General Kainerugaba posted on X: "The traitor Peter Elwelu has been stripped of all his ranks. He has been reduced to the rank of a private soldier." The military later confirmed Elwelu was in detention, saying 15 guns, military uniforms and two pickup trucks were found linked to him.
Party Denials and Competing Explanations
The ruling National Resistance Movement denied reports that its top leadership rejected a proposal to endorse General Kainerugaba as the next president, calling the reports "completely false". NRM Secretary General Richard Todwong Awany confirmed the party met on November 10 to discuss "political, social and economic issues" and said any decision would be announced "in the right way and at the right time". Security analyst Freddie David Egesa said the arrests resulted from investigations by various security agencies rather than a military-led purge.
